Digital X-rays
Digital x-rays are quickly becoming the standard in dental imaging. Dr. Djawdan was one of the first dentists in Maryland to acquisition a digital x-ray system in 1996.
Benefits of digital x-rays:
- Specific problem areas of a tooth can be enhanced with magnification as well as brightness and contrast alterations. Viewing an enhanced x-ray image on a computer screen can help Dr. Djawdan to better see a problem area
- Digital x-rays are stored on a computer and can be printed, emailed, copied, or sent to other dental offices that may need an image of a particular tooth. X-rays can easily be compared to a future x-ray image to see if and how conditions have changed
- Digital x-rays are environmentally friendly. They eliminate the need for film and film processing chemicals that generate biohazardous waste. Special light boxes to view the traditional x-ray films are no longer needed
